Eremotherium approaches a pair of Arctodus grazing on trees
Eremotherium approaches a pair of Arctodus grazing on trees. Eremotherium was a giant ground sloth of North and South America that lived 800, 000 to 11, 000 years ago. They were heavily built and grew up to 20 feet long. Arctodus, or the Short Faced Bear, is the largest bear ever and the largest ever North American mamallian predator. Large short faced bears were 5-6 feet high at the shoulder and could stand on their hind legs up to 12 feet or slightly more. They were also known as running bears because of their longer forelimbs allowing them to be distance/marathon runners. They lived from Canada to Florida for nearly 800, 000 years
